Pulse can be installed as easy as 1-2-3:

1. Download and unpack a package.
2. Start the Pulse server using $ pulse start.
3. Hit the web interface and follow the setup wizard.

The Pulse web UI includes a comprehsive administration interface that:

• Uses AJAX to improve usability.
• Is more responsive than regular forms.
• Has built-in documentation.
• Allows you to test key settings before saving them.

You can view the status of your projects, builds and agents using Pulse's rich reporting interface. This interface:

• Uses AJAX to automatically keep up to date as builds are running.
• Includes a configurable dashboard for every user.
• Shows server activity and build queues.

To reduce the time you need to spend configuring things, Pulse will automatically configure things for you:

• Build tools (e.g. ant, make, xcode) are picked up from the environment.
• Platforms (e.g. Java, .Net) are located automatically.
• New projects are configured with sensible defaults.
